Jack Karlson , the man behind one of the greatest memes Australia has ever provided the world, has died.

Karlson bellowed the words that would etch him into viral history in 1991 in Brisbane 's Fortitude Valley , outside China Sea Restaurant .

The footage of the famous arrest featured on the evening ’s news, but technology at time dictated the tape would sit shelved in news archive rooms.

It was n’t until 2009 that the footage was uploaded to the internet that went viral.

Multiple postings have racked up hundreds of millions of views.
